2015 Toyota Camry Facelift Hybrid Revealed; Details here

Toyota Japan has revealed the Hybrid variant of the 2015 Camry Facelift. In terms of design there is not much that differentiates the regular and the hybrid variants of the new Camry, only the ‘Hybrid Synergy’ badges and blue Toyota logo on the grille.

Toyota India is expected to launch both the Camry Hybrid as well as the regular Camry facelift in 2015. The Camry Hybrid is expected to be priced about Rs. 1 Lakh over the current model which is priced at Rs. 29.13 Lakh ex-showroom Delhi.

The interiors of the car are also the same as the ones shown on the 2015 Camry facelift showcased at the Moscow Motor Show in August 2014. The car does not get any changes under the hood, the Camry Hybrid will still be powered by a 202 BHP / 483 Nm hybrid system which consists of a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine and a 650 V electric motor generator. The Camry Hybrid does get a 8% increase in fuel-efficiency though, for the model sold in Japan. The model sold in India currently delivers 19.16 KMPL.

Now this variant of the Camry will be the global model, with India also included in the list of future destinations.

At the back the sedan has re-sculpted bumper and a sleek looking chrome strip running across its width. Its flared wheel arches are filled by newly designed alloy wheels.

Will they launch the petrol version first then hybrid or just like in rest of the world they will launch both hybrid as well as petrol together. I am planning to buy the hybrid so should I wait because I cant wait more than 6 months.

One more thing, do you think there are a lot of changes in the new update comparing to the current hybrid. Is it worth waiting??
